Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The St. Louis Cardinals (62-64) welcome the Milwaukee Brewers (73-53) to Busch Stadium for the finale of their 3-game series Thursday. First pitch is set for 2:15 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Cardinals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 7-2

The Brewers lost to the Cardinals 10-6 Wednesday, snapping a 6-game win streak. Milwaukee did win the opening game of the series 3-2 though, closing as an underdog in both. It is 35-29 on the road and is 4-1 in the last 5 away games. The Brewers are 68-58 against the spread (ATS).

The Cardinals, who are 33-30 at home, have struggled the last few weeks, going just 2-7 in their last 9 games. They still sit 2nd in the NL Central despite going 2-4 over their last 6 games at home. St. Louis is 62-64 ATS. Its main issues over the last 10 days has been its offense, scoring 2 or fewer runs in 5 of its last 8 games.

Brewers at Cardinals projected starters

RHP Freddy Peralta vs. RHP Miles Mikolas

Peralta (8-7, 4.00 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 10.6 K/9 in 137 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER (1 R), 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 2-1 home win over the Cleveland Guardians Saturday
  • 2024 home stats: 4-4, 4.30 ERA (73 1/3 IP, 35 ER), 1.16 WHIP, 10.3 K/9 in 13 starts
  • Career vs. Cardinals: 3-6, 5.25 ERA (70 1/3 IP, 41 ER), 1.38 WHIP, 10.2 K/9 in 17 appearances (13 starts)

Mikolas (8-10, 5.41 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 1.4 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 in 138 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER (5 R), 7 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 7-6 home loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday
  • 2024 away stats: 7-5, 4.54 ERA (77 1/3 IP, 39 ER), 1.25 WHIP, 6.2 K/9 in 14 starts
  • Career vs. Brewers: 10-6, 4.09 ERA (105 2/3 IP, 48 ER), 1.05 WHIP, 8.0 K/9 in 18 appearances (17 starts)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Cardinals 3

Moneyline

BET BREWERS (-120).

The Cardinals have just been too inconsistent to back here, and in the last 3 games that Mikolas has started, they have struggled to keep batters off base. St. Louis is 1-2 in those 3 games and has allowed at least 5 runs in each. It has allowed at least 6 runs in 3 of its last 6 games and is just 2-3 in its last 5 at home.

The Brewers have a strong starting option on the mound and have allowed 2 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4 games. In Peralta’s last 3 starts, the Brewers have allowed 11 runs. Considering the difference in pitching and recent trends for both sides, back BREWERS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no playable value here. The Brewers are too risky as a road run-line favorite while the Cardinals are too expensive as an underdog. Avoid this play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-104).

The Brewers are 4-3 O/U in their last 7 games, scoring at least 5 runs in 4 of those. They have been one of the top Over-hitting teams in the majors at 68-51-7 O/U.

The Cardinals are 3-3 O/U in their last 6 and 6-5 O/U in their last 11. They have scored 5 or more runs in 3 of their last 5 games as well, so their offense may be starting to heat up some.

Take OVER 8 (-104).

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (73-52) and St. Louis Cardinals (61-64) play the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Busch Stadium Wednesday at 7:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Cardinals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 7-1

The Brew Crew won their 6th straight and continued the dominance against the Cardinals and the NL Central. They’re now 26-14 against divisional foes and have opened an 11 1/2-game lead in the Central. C William Contreras had 3 hits in the 3-2 win Tuesday.

The Cards cut it to 3-2 late in the game and had something unthinkable happen. Brewers closer Devin Williams pitched around OF Lars Nootbaar to load the bases in the 9th for 1B Paul Goldschmidt with 1 out. He struck out. 2B Nolan Gorman struck out after him to end it. This kind of offensive blasphemy has taken place all year with runners in scoring position. The Cards have lost 8 of 10 and 13 of 20.

Brewers at Cardinals projected starters

RHP Tobias Myers vs. RHP Kyle Gibson

Myers (6-5, 2.81 ERA) makes his 19th start (20th appearance). He has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 99 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 1 K Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers
  • Last 7 starts: 1-3, 2.18 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 34 K in 41 1/3 IP
  • 1 career start vs. Cardinals: No-decision, 4 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 4 BB, 6 K on May 9

Gibson (7-5, 4.26 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 131 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 6 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 6 K last Wednesday in 9-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds
  • Career vs. Brewers: 0-0, 3.86 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, 25 K in 25 2/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Cardinals 2

Moneyline

The mood is not good in The Lou. Tuesday’s game against the Brewers drew the least amount of fans in the history of Busch Stadium III outside of pandemic restrictions. The Cards were in 2nd place, facing the team in front of them in the division down the stretch!

I think the Brewers roll in this game. Gibson has faced the Brewers twice this season and walked a tightrope, walking 4 in each start. Take the BREWERS -110.

Run line/Against the spread

I don’t like either side of the RL here, but I am targeting WILLIAM CONTRERAS OVER 1.5 H+R+RBI (-133) Be careful not to select his brother, Cardinals C Willson Contreras, who is also in this game. The younger brother, William, is 2-for-5 with 2 doubles against Gibson this year.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be a 75-degree evening with a 7-mph gust blowing in from right-center. This total has morphed to a dicey total, but I still think it goes Under. The Cards have scored 2 runs or fewer in 5 of 7 games. The Brewers aren’t tearing the cover off the ball either at 3.1 R/game over their last 10. I’m a lot more confident in the previous 2 bets, but LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-115).

St. Louis lost 2-1 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday while failing to cover as -112 home favorites. The Cardinals have lost 7 of their last 10 games.

Brewers at Cardinals projected starters

RHP Frankie Montas vs. RHP Erick Fedde

Montas (5-8, 4.86 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 in 107 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 5-4 win against the Dodgers Wednesday

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 4, Cardinals 2

Moneyline

BET BREWERS (+110).

Milwaukee is 7-3 in its last 10 games including 5-0 in its last 5 while St. Louis is 3-7 in its last 10 including 1-6 in its last 7. The Brewers are 3-0 in Montas’ 3 starts since being traded while the Cardinals are just 1-2 in Fedde’s 3 starts since being traded. At plus money, the Brewers are the best wager in this matchup.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is better value on the Brewers moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-110).

Montas has allowed 3 or fewer runs in each of his last 3 starts with the Brewers while Milwaukee has allowed 3 or fewer runs in 3 straight games and 1 run or less in back-to-back games. The Cardinals have allowed 2 runs in back-to-back games while scoring fewer than 3 runs in 5 of their last 7.

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (86-66) are closing in on the NL Central title as they wrap up a 4-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals (67-85) on Thursday. First pitch from Busch Stadium is set for 1:15 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs.  Cardinals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 5-4

The Cardinals are 2-4 on their current homestand, dropping their record to 33-44 in their home park this season. After winning the NL Central division in 2022 they sit in last place as the 2023 season winds to a close.

Milwaukee is 9-4 in its last 13 games, outscoring opponents 69-27 during that span. The Brewers have a 7-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central with 10 games to go.

Brewers at Cardinals projected starters

LHP Wade Miley vs. RHP Miles Mikolas

Miley (8-4, 3.38 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 5.8 K/9 through 109 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 5-3 home win vs. Washington Nationals Friday
  • 2023 road stats: 3-2, 2.98 ERA (48 1/3 IP, 16 ER) with 5.6 K/9 and .215 BABIP in 10 starts
  • Career vs. Cardinals: 3-6, 4.11 ERA (61 1/3 IP, 28 ER) in 12 starts.
  • Faced St. Louis once this year but left in the 2nd inning with a lat strain that put him on the IL

Mikolas (7-12, 4.84 ERA) makes his 33rd start. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 5.8 K/9 through 182 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 2 K in 6-1 home loss vs. Philadelphia Phillies Saturday
  • 2023 home stats: 2-6, 5.48 ERA (87 IP, 53 ER) with 6.6 K/9 across 16 starts
  • Career vs. Brewers: 8-4, 3.69 ERA (83 IP, 34 ER) with 8.3 K/9 in 14 appearances (13 starts).
  • 5 starts vs. Brewers in 2022: 3.31 ERA and 31/5 K/BB in 32 2/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Cardinals 5

Moneyline

Mikolas has been struggling lately, as he has posted a lousy 7.27 ERA and 3.9 K/9 over his last 6 starts. Milwaukee has been hot and should come out on top once again in this one so BET BREWERS (-105).

Run line/Against the spread

Each of Milwaukee’s last 14 wins have been by multiple runs and they are facing a pitcher who hasn’t missed many bats lately. The Brewers are 23rd in wRC+ vs. right-handed pitching but they have been hot lately and face a starting pitcher who has struggled in recent weeks.

On the other side, Miley has recorded a respectable 4.06 ERA over his last 7 starts but he can thank a .179 BABIP for keeping the damage to a minimum. He has put up an awful 19/14 K/BB during that time and is a poor bet to keep the St. Louis bats completely in check. PASS on this line.

 

Over/Under

Mikolas has displayed awful skills and results over the past month, while Miley’s skills don’t quite line up with his solid surface stats. Neither offense is likely to get shut down in this contest and this total looks a little too low so make a play on OVER 8.5 (-115).

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Milwaukee Brewers (24-18) close out a 3-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals (17-26) on Wednesday at Busch Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Cardinals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 3-2

The Brewers squeaked out a 3-2 win over the Cardinals Tuesday as they bounced back from an 18-1 defeat in the series opener on Monday. Milwaukee has posted a 6-4 record in its last 10 contests.

The Cardinals had their 4-game win streak snapped with Tuesday’s loss. Despite the team’s struggles this season, St. Louis has gone 7-3 in its last 10 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Cardinals projected starters

RHP Corbin Burnes vs. LHP Matthew Liberatore

Burnes (4-2, 3.35 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through 45 2/3 IP.

  • Has walked 3-plus batters in 4 of his first 8 starts
  • His 7.7 K/9 is his lowest mark since 2018 when he notched an 8.3 K/9 as a rookie reliever

Liberatore (0-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his 1st start of the 2023 season. He had a 4-1 record with a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 through 46 IP in 8 starts at Triple-A this season.

  • Registered a 2-2 record with a 5.97 ERA, 1.73 WHIP, 4.7 BB/9, and 7.3 K/9 in 34 2/3 in 7 starts and 2 relief appearances for the Cardinals last season

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 4, Brewers 3

Moneyline

There is value in taking the CARDINALS (+100) in Wednesday’s NL Central showdown even with Burnes on the mound for the Brewers. The Brewers have the 3rd-worst wRC+ (77) against left-handed pitching and the Cardinals have the 3rd-best wRC+ (116) against right-handed pitching.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Despite having the Cardinals securing the win at home, the Brewers should keep this game close enough to cover the spread. That being said, I wouldn’t advise wagering on Milwaukee +1.5 (-165) at the current odds.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8 (-115) is the lean in this game with Burnes still limiting runs despite his lower strikeout totals and Milwaukee’s woes against southpaws. The Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings overall.

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Milwaukee Brewers (23-18) and St. Louis Cardinals (17-25) play the middle game of a 3-game set at Busch Stadium Tuesday. First pitch is at 7:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Cardinals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 2-2

Things got a little out of control in Monday’s series opener as the Brewers were stomped 18-1 by St. Louis. The Brew Crew scored just 1 run on 6 hits. They are 8-12 in their last 20 games and 10-10 on the road this season.

It’s safe to say the Cardinals have awakened. After losing 8 straight to fall to 10-24, they’ve won 7 of 8. The 16 hits tied a season-high, and the 18 runs were a season high. It’s no coincidence that 3B Nolan Arenado has broken out of a season-long slump. He’s hitting .440 with 4 HR and 12 RBIs over the last 7 days.

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 5, Brewers 3

Moneyline

And just like that, the Cardinals are big-time favorites as if they were 25-17. Everyone knew they weren’t as bad as they showed in the first 6 weeks of the season, but it would be jumping the gun a bit to take them as -185 favorites against the team they figure to battle for the division title.

These teams have combined for 6 or more runs in 7 of their last 9 meetings dating to last season. Head to the Win/Total section and under Moneyline and Total Runs, take CARDINALS AND OVER 5.5 (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

Each game between the teams has been decided by 4 or more runs this season and 9 of the last 10 meetings overall have been decided by multiple runs. The Cards tattooed Miley the last time they saw him, and he’s coming off his worst start of the season. Montgomery is too, but he has been really effective against Milwaukee.

Take the CARDINALS -1.5 (+110).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Cards are 8-2 O/U over the last 10 games while Milwaukee is 6-4 O/U. It’s slated to be 71 degrees with an 8-mph wind blowing toward the right field foul pole. Nine runs is a lot to ask in a big ballpark when the teams have only done it 3 times in the last 10 meetings.

I’ll LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-115).

The Brewers secured a 9-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, giving them 3 straight wins and their first series sweep since a 3-game set over the Seattle Mariners from April 17-19. Milwaukee is just 5-5 in its last 10 contests despite it’s recent success.

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Cardinals 4

Moneyline

Considering the pitchers that are on the mound for each team in this NL Central tilt, I’ll take the BREWERS (-115) on the road. Milwaukee is 10-9 on the road compared to St. Louis being 6-13 at home this season.

Run line/Against the spread

BREWERS -1.5 (+145) is a fantastic value with Flaherty pitching for the Cardinals Monday. The left-handed bats in Milwaukee’s lineup have been rolling recently, especially OF Christian Yelich.

Over/Under

OVER 8 (-115) is how I’d bet the run total with Flaherty giving up runs at an alarming rate in recent starts. Even with Peralta being solid to start the season, the Cardinals have plated 46 runs over their last 7 games and should be able to help this number along.

The Over is also 5-0 in Flaherty’s last 5 starts.

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Milwaukee Brewers (76-66) take on the St. Louis Cardinals (83-59) Wednesday in the finale of a 2-game set at Busch Stadium. First pitch is set for 7:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Cardinals odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 8-8

The Brewers had a game plan against Cardinals LHP Jordan Montgomery Tuesday night and handed him his first loss since coming to St. Louis. The Brewers did an excellent job of hitting the gaps in order to win 8-4. The Brew Crew has won 5 of 6 and sit 7 games out in the division and 2 from a wild-card spot.

St. Louis has cooled off at 2-3 in the last 5 games. The Cardinals are still scoring runs, though, with 23 plated during the stretch. St. Louis has history on the horizon as RHP Adam Wainwright and C Yadier Molina will be batterymates for a record 325th career game. Will that be a distraction or a catalyst Wednesday?

Brewers at Cardinals projected starters

RHP Corbin Burnes vs. RHP Adam Wainwright

Burnes (10-6, 2.93 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 0.98 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 11.2 K/9 in 172 IP.

  • In 3 starts vs. St. Louis: 2-0, 0.43 ERA, 21 IP, 8 H, 3 BB, 27 K
  • Has been hittable in last 5 starts: 5.59 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 10.2 K/9

Wainwright (10-9, 3.33 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 173 IP.

  • Had 2 rough starts in a row against the Washington National and the Chicago Cubs: 5 IP, 9 H, 4 ER in each

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 4, Cardinals 3

Money line

The Cards haven’t been able to touch Burnes this season, and Wainwright has struggled in his recent starts and against Milwaukee this season. There also figures to be a lot of emotion in breaking a record many believe will never be broken again.

Take the BREWERS -125.

Run line/Against the spread

I’m not feeling either run line, but I don’t think we’ll need extra innings to settle this one. Take the BREWERS FIRST 9 INNINGS (-103).

Over/Under

Milwaukee’s bullpen is wrecked after going with an opener that got hurt early in Tuesday’s game. Burnes can usually pitch 7 innings, and he can hand it off to relief ace Devin Williams. This is still a really low number, and I think it can go either way.

PASS.

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Milwaukee Brewers (75-66) take on the St. Louis Cardinals (83-58) Tuesday in the opener of a 2-game set at Busch Stadium. First pitch is set for 7:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Cardinals odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Cardinals lead 8-7

Milwaukee has awakened from its slumber and won 4 of 5 against the sub-.500 Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. The Brew Crew sit 8 games out in the NL Central and 2 games from the final wild-card spot, which belongs to the San Diego Padres. They really need both games of this series.

St. Louis continues to cruise, winners of 7 of 10 games and 22 of 30. It would take a collapse of epic proportions to lose an 8-game lead with 21 to go. The Cardinals continue to find ways to win. 1B Albert Pujols hit a dramatic, 2-run homer Sunday in the 9th inning to lead them to victory on a day that 1B Paul Goldschmidt and 3B Nolan Arenado sat out before Monday’s off day.

RHP Matt Bush vs. LHP Jordan Montgomery

Bush (2-2, 3.23 ERA) makes his 6th start and 58th appearance. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 in 53 IP.

  • Threw 13 pitches in his last outing and may be limited to 2 IP in his opening appearance
  • Has a 3.86 ERA in 17 outings with Milwaukee covering 16 1/3 IP, a 0.98 WHIP and 13.2 K/9

Montgomery (8-3, 3.08 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.04 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 158 IP.

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 4, Brewers 3

Money line

I’m picking St. Louis to win, but it won’t be easy. Milwaukee plays them extremely tough. However, Montgomery has been a whirlwind since he was acquired at the trade deadline, and Milwaukee going with a bullpen game should give the Cards enough leverage to sneak by. There’s no way we’re dropping -210, though.

I think this is a low-scoring game, and it’ll take a bit to feel each other out. Go with UNDER 4.5 TOTAL RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

The Brewers have scored 3 runs or fewer in 5 of the last 6 in Busch Stadium. They’ll do so again Tuesday, and I have more confidence in that than I do either run line.

Go with BREWERS UNDER 3.5 TOTAL RUNS (-150).

Over/Under

It’s expected to be a sunny, 79-degree day with a 3-mph wind coming in from left-center field. The Under has hit in 2 of the last 3 meetings between the teams and is 5-4-1 in the last 10. Milwaukee’s bullpen has some issues, but weather conditions should keep this one UNDER 8.5 (-130).

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 6, Brewers 3

Money line

LEAN CARDINALS (-150) only because St. Louis’s RL is a better look. But,Mikolas pitches much better at home and this is an extremely profitable spot for St. Louis.

Mikolas is 4-2 straight up in 11 home starts with a 2.48 ERA (4.59 road ERA), 0.88 WHIP (1.31 road WHIP) and 5.18 K/BB rate (3.19 road K/BB rate).

Also, St. Louis is 8-2 SU as -140 favorites or greater vs. left-handed starters with a plus-27.4% return on investment (ROI) and an average final margin of 5.50-3.50.

However, St. Louis’s RL ROI is better than the SU ROI hence the LEAN CARDINALS (-150). I’d entertain parlaying St. Louis’s ML with another similarly priced favorite for a plus-money payout.

Run line/Against the spread

BET CARDINALS -1.5 (+140) based on the previous analysis and St. Louis is 7-3 RL with a plus-51.7% ROI as -140 favorites or greater vs. lefties and 9-5 RL vs. the Brewers +1.5 (-175) this season.

Over/Under

PASS.

Cardinals-Brewers is 5-8-1 O/U in 2022 and play more to the Under when both starters are on the bump (17-20 O/U).

But, St. Louis’s lineup rakes left-handed pitching and Milwaukee’s is top-10 in wRC+, wOBA and ISO vs. right-handed pitching, per FanGraphs.

PASS.
